Police Recover Car Linked To Night Stalker

LOS ANGELES — A stolen station wagon that was spotted near the scene of the most recent attack attributed to the so-called Night Stalker was found abandoned early Wednesday.

Undersheriff Theodore Von Minden called the recovery of the car on a Los Angeles street a ''significant break'' in the hunt for the curly-haired killer believed responsible for 14 murders and 21 assaults since February.

Authorities would not say whether any evidence was initially recovered from the car, an orange 1976 Toyota spotted by an unidentified person who called police, or where it was recovered.
